This is the Youtube comment. I checked this thread in the morning and it had 68 replies, now there are nearly 600; you would have heard about this sooner or later; especially if you're keeping up with your "watching the news" thing. ;p
"I was there and almost everyone stayed until he was done. The guy he was yelling at was being an Ass Hole. He started the racist shit first. He wouldn't shut up. They called him at least 10 different names. He said "you suck, he was an idiot, a dumb ass white mother fucker" and on and on. You only see 2 minutes. It was 10 minutes of two Black guys fucking with him. They tried to piss him off and it worked. What's new?"
Oh yeah, I agree even if they started it he shouldn't have sunk to their level. No race should be "allowed" to use racism to their advantage. For me, I think it should be pretty black and white (hahah -_-): either all races can use racial slurs to insult each other, which is stupid, or no race should be allowed to use racial slurs to insult other races, which is preferable. Of course in the real world it's not going to be that simple.
Richards is also a recovering alcoholic, which would be contributable, but still not make his actions excusable.
